The Grumpy Blogger and Her Trip To Tehachapi
Boy, have I been pissy lately. I was just rereading my last few posts and none were all that nice. My apologies!
Well, we’re still in triple digit heat however, the weather girl (person, lady, gal?!?!) says that there is a lovely marine layer blowing in that is supposed to take us down to the high 90’s. Beggars can’t be choosers, I suppose, at least that’s what I’ve been told. I’ll take the high 90’s over triple digit heat any day.
Isn’t it strange how big the difference is between, oh say… 98 and 100? It’s 2 degrees but it feels like the difference between a warm glow and a blazing bonfire.
A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to get out of the heat for a few hours. We hopped in the truck with my husband to take a drive into the mountains so he could do an appraisal inspection for a house in Tehachapi… that’s pronounced “teh-haa-chuh-pee.”
I took a few pics and thought I would post them here…
This is just a view of the valley where the house Mike was appraising sits.
This is just a neat view of the mountain range. Although, for the record I used to live in Colorado and had the sheer joy of seeing Pike’s Peak every morning from my kitchen window. It was beyond gorgeous and none of the mountains here compare.
The landscape is dotted with loads of oak trees, I love them!

I’ve been noticing the same thing. We’ve been between 104 and 108 the past week and it’s turned me into such a b*tch. Ugh.
This kind of weather is definitely not cheery.

Are we living in the same area? It’s supposed to be 106 today and I’m definitely not in the best of moods. (My nosey son is reading over my shoulder and just said, “No kidding.” Don’tcha just love kids? ;o) I can’t wait for Fall… or Winter…

Hey Stacie!
Thanks for stopping by…
Is it just me or does it seem like it the heat was never this bad when we were kids? I can remember being outside all day long when I was much younger… it can’t be that we get uh-hum… older and get wimpier, can it?

Don’t let the Mommy thing get to you. I believe that, as a woman, the most feminist and empowering thing we do to change the world is have and raise children. We have an ability men can’t touch. There is no more worthy topic.
And about Madonna… well, if you have horses, that happens eventually. No way around it. I’ve have MANY injuries over the years. What killed me is when they talked about it on the news, it didn’t take them 10 seconds to mention Christopher Reeve.
I’m glad I didn’t make the news with pictures when i cracked my tailbone! :)
And the other thing that pissed me off… horses RARELY “throw” you off. They move on their own, and you fall, but their intention is rarely murder. :)

Hey Bonanza!
Thank you very much. What a very cool thing to say. I sure appreciate it.
I love your take on the Madonna thing too! ;o)

I love your blog. Mommy blog or not, of course you’re going to talk about your kids at some point. But, I think you put things in a neat way that makes us non-kid-havers feel all welcome and cozy. :-)
Just my $.02
